| NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-Lawyer Howe
opened the defense for Anarchist Most this
| morning. He said he would prove that Po-
| liceman Sachs, who testified that Most used
| the incendiary language charged against him,
was not present at the meeting at which Most
| is alleged to have spoken. Adolph Schenk,
who was convicted with Most last year for
| taking part in an unlawful assemblage, was
| the first witness. Officer Sachs had testified
| that Schenk presided at the meeting in
Kraemer's Hail and introduced Most Schenk
swore that he was on Staten Island the night
in question. He admitted that he was an
Anarchist and that he was in favor of bring
ing about a revolution in society, by force if
necessary. Schenk did not believe there was
God to punish perjary, but he was aware
that there was a worldly punishment for
false swearing and he intended that Sachs
should get the full extent of it. Moritz
Schultzer, printer in the Freiheit Office,
swore that it was he who presided at the
meeting and introduced Most and that Schenk
was not present Schultzer stated that Most
had addressed his hearers as "Fellow citi-
zens." (Most's application for papers of citi-
zenship has been refused) And when voice
called out ''ReYenge!" Most replied, ''Not to-
day. The revenge is hid in the lap of the
future" Witness insisted that Most had not
recommended the assassination of Prosecutor
Griunell, Gary or anybody else, nor had he
counseled any violation of the law.
After recess James Crulman, Herald re-
porter, was sworn and said he met Mr.. Dry
foos of the World on the night of the meet
ing. He then stepped aside to let Mr..
Dryfoos testify. The latter said he had not
met Mr.. Crulman outside the meeting nor
until he had met his brother at the station.
Mr.. Dryfoos said he had several beers the
night of the meeting, which caused laughter.
When Mr.. Crulman resumed the stand ne
said Mr.. Dry foos was correct about the time
they met. They had not met at Kramer's
hall. Dryfoos had said he was at the Most
meeting, but that nothing of Importance had
taken place. Most had given an harangue.
Mr.. Crulman said it sometimes occurred that
reporters told fFwhite lies" in such cases.
Charles Judis attended the meeting and he
was next sworn. He testified to having seen
Dryfoos leave the meeting before Most had
finished speaking. Witness did not believe
in God. He gave a mild version of the
Most speech. Anarchy, he said, "meant
to have everything upright and straight" He
believed when anarchy should have prevailed
there would be criminals. "Then your
occupation would be gone" remarked Mr.
Nicoll as he turned to Most's counsel and
laughter ensued. Witness continued that
when he became q citizen he had taken an
oath to support the constitution and the
government. He did not then believe in an
archy and he would not now take such an
oath.
Emile Kosz was the next witness for
Most. He had been baker, but had been
at the meeting in question peddling court
plaster among the Anarchists. Most had
made no threat that night. Witness did not
know whether the United States were con-
Quoted as a republic OF a monarchy. He had
not studied our form of government. Fred
OIwig, machinist, swore he had attended
the meeting in question. He said Mr..
Schultzer, not Schenck as sworn to by one
of the detectives, had presided. Witness
said he was not an Anarchist and was in
doubt as to the meaning of the word. The
case at this point adjourned to Monday.
